What is cultURIze?

A way to enable collection administrators to identify collection items on the web.

Who needs CultURIze?

Registrars, curators and managers of small or medium cultural heritage collections.

How does it work?

CultURIze is four-step process to create a persistent URI for a collection item on the web:

1. Record persistent URI's and the corresponding webresources in a spreadsheet
2. Turn the spreadsheet in a server configuration file
3. Upload the file to a code sharing platform and use this platform to...
4. periodically update your webserver to activate the persistent URI's.

Where do I start?

Setting up and running a CultURIze workflows takes six steps:

1. Define the domain and numbering scheme for your persistent URIs.
2. Set up an Apache webserver.
3. Set up a Github repository and link it to your webserver.
4. Record the persistent URI’s in a spreadsheet. Archive this spreadsheet in your organisation and use this document to maintain persistent URI’s for your organisation.
5. Download the desktop application and use it to turn your spreadsheet in an htaccess file and push it to your Github repository. The repo will automatically update the URI’s on the webserver.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 every time you add a persistent URI or change a URL.
